Justice sprouting
March 1, 2010 | Posted by Doug
"For as the Earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations." -Isaiah 61:11
| Reading: Isaiah 61:8-11
It is March! Spring is in the air!, Well, actually it’s cold and snow is on the ground. But spring is coming! Shoots are ready to spring forth from the ground! The same is true with justice and righteousness. Although it looks pretty bleak in Washington DC, although the teapots are trying to move things even farther to the right; shoots of hope are just beneath the surface ready to break through the ground and shoot up toward the sky promising a harvest of justice and joy! All of our organizing and advocating for fairness in the workplace, and our community and in the nation will bear fruit. It is March, can spring be far away?
